Very nice building

 

[Lenser]

That overhang cladding cleans it up nicely. Little spots of calm in an otherwise very busy collection of surfaces.

Not a fan. It’s just such a terrible colour. (Lack there of)

I was really hoping the building would turn out great so we could say "Good form, Peter" to Peter Clewes. Oh well.

Please, Tridel, extend those fins up to the roofline. It's a small detail but it'll make a big difference.

The bottom portion of the third overhang is now clad:

Is there a ban on colours in this city? Cladding the bottom of the overhang in a pop of colour is a no brainer. The Ontario College of Art and Design is literally across the street for goodness sake.

It’s a double whammy. Toronto is a pretty gre city to begin with and these buildings are built for investors who don’t really care about what thry look like. Just the bottom line. You’d see better looking buildings if they were built for end users in mind, not people who buy off of plans sight unseen from a different country.

At least that’s my guess. I could be completely wrong.

The exterior construction elevator has been removed from the northern section of the building. They're also around half way done cladding the bottom portion of the 4th and final overhang.

From last Monday.

Form last night.

And a few more.

While I appreciate the overall concept, it feels way to heavy in person.

If only they extended the "fins" above the mechanical, if only there was a bit more height for the ground-level retail, if they only selected a different "grey" for the window wall, and the list goes on. Is a shame as this one had some real potential.

I'd give it a C+.

Walked by yesterday. The Gym, lobby, and oher amenities are already done. Move-ins must have either taken place or they're close. All I'll say about the finished product is nice design, terrible execution.
